    Cargo-Bike selfmade

    Used helios are short on the ground, one just has to bide their time. Once I buy a suitable bike I shall likely reduce my fleet of bikes by 2 or 3 and sell off some spare motors/kit.

    Bicycle industry fights e-bike ‘tampering’

    I'm over 15.5mph on every ride, it's not hard to go over unassisted and isn't illegal. All the 15.5 limit doe sis to allow me to reach it with less effort so more of my energy can be used to go above it.

    Cargo-Bike selfmade

    Mike Burrows design of the 8 to reduce weight to save weight is clever. As Fleec mentioned the forks front and rear are single so a saving their of a few kg also no suspension. No exterior brakes they are all hub brakes so no exposure to weather using the 90mm sturmey archer hub/drum brakes. A...

    Cargo-Bike selfmade

    Most of the designs are poor for proper cargo use with the rider seated so far back, riding with the kids up front is mental and putting them first in the line of fire in likely most accidents. Cargo or load carrying wise one needs any weight at the rear, one tows a trailer with weight at the...

    Error Code E20 on Shimano E6000

    Comms between battery and motor can only be a connection issue so if contact is good then get the dealer to check out or replace wiring between the two. A damaged or unseen broken wire or intermittent wire contact will go unseen.

Postage can vary depending on the seller but often one receives an email to say item has arrived in your country with a week or two then it's up to RM how quick they re - route it once it...

    Cargo-Bike selfmade

    Exactly as frank point out in the OP, price and a rip off. Cargo on the front is not very good one wants the weight behind esp for taller bulky stuff, those things are ok for kids and pets.

    Conversion kit for retro khs

    Nothing much wrong with a front hub. Motor noise may be more noticeable only because the way sound travels from the front vs the rear. As has been said wet or loose surfaces may induce wheel slip. A powerful hub may cause some torque steer. Front wheels suffer less punctures in my experience...

    Carrera Vulcan E-bike - chain slap

    One can spend however much they wish to on bearings, I have no issue with my cheap £1 odd bearings and no rumblings from the hubs. Even if one does wear I see no issue with changing the item as it only takes approx. 1/2hr for me to do so.

    How to Make the Bike Go Slower?

    Sounds like it uses some kind of speed control then.

    Error code

    The controller is the brains of the bike and controls the current delivery so that is likely the place to look, the motor only takes what the controller can give.

    big thanks to peter @performane line bearings

    Considering you don't ride in the rain or mud, it should be spotless plus you have a fetish of opening it every week.

    Bafang BBS02

    9 pas levels just gives you more options for power delivery, with a programming lead one can split the 9 levels in to two PAS group settings. For instance one could set 1 -5 for flatish terrain riding of low torque and high speed and then set 6 - 9 for high torque hill or off road climbing with...
